I love making pillowcases this way (burrito style). Sometimes I will make a pillowcase to gift a quilt (especially nice if have leftover fabric so it matches). Funny story…the last time I bought a set of sheets for the bed I forgot to order matching pillowcases. No problem…just went to my stash and pulled three coordinating fabrics. Love how they turned out.
Most larger size sheets come with pillowcases, I think even Twin size comes with 1, but that may have changed over the years, but I love making them, too. Someone asked me years ago "why would you make a pillowcase when they come with the sheets?" I said "because I like to!" Plus, I think they're more personal 😊😊
Plus they look prettier!
@@marlahanks7278 I didn’t order the sheets as a set and that’s why no pillowcases came with them. I liked the ones I sewed better than the ones that I could have ordered.
@@loriar1027 Absolutely!
Great instructions! This is how I make pillowcases as well. I make them for my grandchildren, as well as for children at Sick Kids Hospital and the Womens Centre. Thank you for your dedication in making projects and videos for all of your viewers. Greatly appreciated!!
Pillows are larger now, and fluffier and more comfortable, so…by the time you make this pillowcase with unwashed quilting cotton and then wash and dry it, it shrinks so much it’s hard to put on the pillow. So I make them a little longer so it’s not a struggle to put them on .😊
I make all my pillowcases this way. It’s so easy and quick. I make holiday ones for special occasions and give them for gifts. The only hard part is picking out the fabric! There’s so many beautiful fabrics that can make these!
Sure is a great way to be able to enjoy some beautiful fabrics quickly! Thank you!
Thank you for including the fabric requirements for king size. FQS for the win!
I love these, but the last step for me is to do a small top stitch along the edge of the thin accent strip to hold it down. I’ve found that if I don’t, once I’ve washed the pillowcases, they tend to not lay flat again unless they’re ironed. And I definitely don’t take time to iron my pillowcases. I’ve made these for all of my grandchildren and each year they get more: themed ones for Christmas, Valentines, Halloween, birthday, etc. So fun!
Kimberly, this is the same way we make the pillowcases for the Smiles program. Have made several hundred of them. I have a friend that made a set of holiday pillowcases for each of her grandchildren. I think she made a different one for each month! Great idea.
Love a good pillow case. I’ve been making these for years for my grandchildren at Christmas, and everyday use.
This is great. Now when I give a family member their bed quilt, I can include these pillow cases as well. Thank you so much!! Great video!
Thank you thank you thank you Kimberly. Now I feel I can confidently make a French seam pillowcase. You made it easy to understand and follow with simple directions.
I can do this! Thanks for this tutorial. Love hearing about the French seam 🎉
Love this video! Thank you for also posting the king size!❤
Another great video ! Thank you for updating in the making of a pillow case.. you are always thinking inside and outside the box . 😊 . I so look forward to your videos and the many many tips you give us .
Another well done video lesson!
What a fabulous gift idea. Thanks for today’s video, I’m sure I will use this pattern in the future. Many thanks
Love the burrito pillow case😊
Love you supplies, I use exact same tools except I use glide to cutdown on the lint going through my machines. Always love your videos!
Love it!.
This is how I make pillowcases too. I typically leave out the accent fabric. I have made with flannel and most recently with fleece. Though with the fleece I didn’t do the French seams as I thought that would be too bulky.
I'm going to try and make a smaller toddler size one for my granddaughter. Thanks for the tutorial Kimberly
Very nice tutorial. Thank you so much!
I love making matching pillow cases to go with my quilts.
Love these pillows. Have made a couple of them. Will refer to this when doing more. Have fabric with chemical symbols for a grandson. Think he would like it. Great use for those fabrics I bought “just because I liked it”.
LOVE making pillowcases....such a versatile gift idea. Thank you.
Thank you Kimberly and Fat Quarter Shop. I love this . I plan on making these to match my quilts. Hugs from snowy Minnesota ❄️
Love it.. thanks Kimberly ‼️
A nice and quick pillowcase! I can't wait to make it. TY, Kimberly!
I used my walking foot to minimize slipping of fabric layers, especially when sewing the cuff/accent/body seam.
Have seen what seems like a million of these one million pillowcase challenge tutorials, but this is the best! Your verbal instruction and camera angles are unbeatable. Thanks for another great tutorial, FQS!
😊😊 Great instructions, anyone would be able to follow. It helps you wrap your head around the funky way you have to sew together to get the beautiful French seams. Thanks😊😊
I really enjoyed this one Kimberly my granddaughters really love the pillowcases I've made using this method. They love the cute fabric from FQS! ❤
Now I need new pillowcases!!!
Love making these pillows. I personalize them by machine embroidering the cuff before making it.
Thanks so much for this detailed instruction. I just finished the applique quilt my aunt started in 1960, and then made her two matching pillow cases (without applique!😮). SENDING IT OFF SOON
It would be a 10 minute pillowcase for me if I could speed up! It was a 30 minute project for me. Cut, pin, sew, press, pin, sew, press, pin, sew & press. 10 individual steps. If this took 10 minutes, each of those tasks would have to be done in 1 minute! 😂It doesn’t take long, that’s for sure, but I’m a fairly quick quilter and I couldn’t do it in 10 minutes. It’s a great pattern and video though! Thank you!🎉🎉
Love these❤
❤thank you.
Thanks for another wonderful tutorial and including both standard and king size pillowcases! This is how I make pillowcases as well. I usually make pillowcases from the leftover quilt fabric to give along with the quilts I've made. My grandkids love the pillowcases I've made for them!
This is a super fun pillowcase, for sure. It’s fun to try out different fabric combos. Thank you kimberlee.
The best pullow case tutorial I have seen! Thank you for the clear explanations and also focusing on precise measurements, cutting right angles and straight lines, and finishing carefully! It’s very easy to make but details make it look its best!
This is how I make pillowcases as well. I make them for my grandkids and make seasonal/holiday ones (travel pillow size) for their beds. There are fun and easy to make! Thanks for sharing.
Wow so much for me 😂
Great tutorial! Made my first one tonight and I was very pleased with the way it turned out.
My whole family gets pillowcases every year for Christmas. Sometimes there's a theme, sometimes it's random. I always make a few extras in case one of the kids doesn't like theirs. They have to pick without seeing it, it almost always works out. 😉
I ❤making pillow cases. Especially on my serger! 😊
Awww, i love the fabrics you chose….so pretty..I’m gonna destash with this project! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This is awesome. I'm going to make some pillow cases!!!
Love that hidden seam!
Thanks!
Thank you so much for this info.
Love this! I’d love to try it with silk. I’ve got some silk that my daughter brought back from deployment. I’m afraid to cut into it….
Ooooh! Thank you!
Thanks Kim and Team, I have made these before...but never with the french seam!!!! :)
Wonderful tutorial. Thank you... Scribed and hit the 🔔
❤ this! Thank You
So cute! I love sewing projects like this. Thank you!
Thank you soooooo much!
❤ thank you for sharing this I’ve never made a pillow case
You really made the best instruction ever for this. I think I can do this now. Thank you!!!
Love this!❤ Thanks for sharing
Love the pillowcase. Thanks for sharing.
Great instructions!
Very nice demo. Thank you!
Thanks for demoing the French seam. I had heard of it but never saw how to make them. Will have to see if I have enough Old Glory fabric to make the pillow case after I make the quilt.
Love this! Thank you for sharing all of the fabric choices! This is a great project! ❤
I’m going to try this. Thank you
beautiful and so quick :) Thanks!
Is the way I make the pillowcases 😊 I love the France stitch too 🥰 . Your explanation is really good 👍. I top stitch the fabrics for more durability
Loved it thank u. That was amazing👩🏻😊🌻
Thank you so much! This is better than the way I've been sewing them (was finishing long side French seam and then doing the shorter side. Sewing both sides as you showed eliminates the bulk in the corner! Hope that made sense. 😺). I've got 2 pillow cases cut out that I was going to sew today. Great timing! 😻👍😻
You can also use a serger instead of a French seam. Even quicker. ❤
Hi Kimberly, thanks for sharing. I always forget about French seams, I guess it's because I don't make very many pillow cases.
Going to studio to make some now!
❤❤❤
Great video. Thw french seam is kinda like paper piecing in that it is counter intuitive, but works great.
I love making this style of pillowcases! I started top-stitching the cuff and accent piece so that over time (and lots of washing) they stay nice and flat! 😊
Great idea!
This is the pattern I have used with a slightly smaller cuff. It works every time.
Burrito style with French seams is great isn't it?!?!
Love this! Could you share the measurements for a Queen size pillow?
Hello DM! We did not write measurements for a queen size pillow.
I've been making these for quite a few years. The main difference in mine is that the 1st "burrito" seam is done at 1/2" instead of 1/4".
king fabric requirements show 1 1/8 yd, but cutting shows 36". Is that just giving room for squaring up fabric? Great video, thank you!!
Hello Cheryl! Yes, that is correct.
How to cut each piece ?
Do you recommend 100% cotton fabric?
Hello Michele! Yes, that is what we recommend but you could use other fabrics if you'd like.
If you trim your 1/4” seam to 1/8” then when you turn it inside out you an do a 1/4” seam.
Was wondering ! Why don’t you take off the salvage before? I’m guessing it makes a difference. Maybe more of a ninety degree angle?
Are you sure the measurements for the cuff is correct ?? Both pillows call for 11 inches, but the king cuff looks wider
Hello Karen! Yes, that is the correct measurement.
Please teach people to rip their fabric and get a true straight of grain before beginning a sewing project; then cut the salvages off before continuing. The pillowcase in this project is not sewn on the straight of grain and will eventually twist when on the pillow. Finding the straight of grain of a piece of fabric is the first step in preparing to sew a project.
